I can't compile the atk library in Visual Studio Community 2022!

Hi,

I want to compile ATK library in Visual Studio Community 2022 but i am receiving this error message:

The command that I used:

meson … --buildtype=release --prefix=C:\gtkmm

I executed this command within of the builddir directory that I created to build ATK.
My main goal is to compile the gtkmm library!
What mistake can I be making? And how can I resolve?

Thanks for any help!

Should be fixed by Update subproject wraps (!53) · Merge requests · Archive / atk · GitLab

Also note that ATK can be built from the at-spi2-core repository, which is maintained more actively. You can use -Datk_only=true as all other things aren’t useful on Windows.
